$1 Million Secured to Overhaul Aging Local Sewer Lines
Feasterville Trevose, PA · September 30, 2026
Take a light jacket for the morning walk — the crisp turn toward October arrives right on schedule today, with an active evening of township discussions and library programs waiting after work.
The Lead
A newly confirmed $1 million state grant from the Commonwealth Financing Authority is headed to local wastewater infrastructure, delivering substantial long-term relief to neighborhood utility networks. The funding, awarded to the municipal authority serving our area, specifically targets excessive inflow and infiltration across miles of aging underground collection lines.
During heavy rainfall, fractured joints and deteriorated mains permit surrounding groundwater and surface runoff to flood the sanitary sewer grid, needlessly driving up processing volumes and inflating utility treatment costs borne by household ratepayers. Instead of disruptive open-trench digging through residential roads and private front lawns, crews will employ trenchless cured-in-place pipe lining to seal fissures securely from the inside out. Authority engineers are currently mapping the highest-priority pipe corridors before contractors finalize staging dates and dispatch robotic lining equipment into neighborhood manholes.
